Strawberries Next Spring.

If our readers have followed the adj
vice given earlier in the season, and
layered strawberries in small pot, they
have the plants for setting bed that will
give fair crop of fruit next spring. If
this were not done. one must purchase
pot-layered plants with which to set his
bed, or else wait until the following year
for crop. The principal dealers now
offer pot-layered plants at moderate
price, when we consider the labor involved
10 producing them. The best results are
to be had from earlier planting-the last
of July or any time in August; still, if
planted early this month. and given good
care. a fair crop may be expected. The
soil should be well enriched with thorough
ly decomposed stable manure. or in alb
sence of this use dressing of fine bone.
In either case let it be we'll
worked into the soil. Set the pot
layered plants in rows two feet apart,
and the plants every fifteen inches in the
rows. In planting, press the soil firmly
against the plant with the foot. Keep the
bed clear OF weeds during the rest of the
growing season. and as fast as runners
are produced, pinch them off to favor the
formation of strong, stocky stools. When
permanent cold weather sets in, cover the
plants and the entire bed with straw, salt
hay, leaves, or coarse material. two inches

The American Varieties of Poultry

Fowls of American origin have pecu-
liarity about them in spite of the fact that
much of the blood in their veins comes
from foreign stock. Take for instance the
Plymouth Rock. No general purpose fowl
that could compare with them existed be-
fore their introduction Here
we have q clean-cut, business
bird, no nonsense or super
fluous Club dubs" about him. He hasn't
got top knot. or whiskers, or five toes,
and he doesn't need them. He has got
the proper shape, smooth legs. richly
tinted skin, and sweet meat that form the
Yankees ideal fowl. The same may be
said of the Wyandottes. They were made
by Americans because there was demand
for such fowl. and in this country when
a demand exists an untiring and usually
successful effort is made to fill it. Ameri
can breeds are the hardest in our climate
unless killed by inbreeding. They stand
extreme hot weather better than Asiatics,
anu extreme cold better than non. sitters.
Thew are completely acclimated, and I'M
der equal care will succeed better than
any other for general all round use where
fowl for both meat and eggs is desired.

Narrow Escape From Drowning.

SELBYsPoRT. Md. June Oath.
This being a splendid day, in ap-
pearance at least, for angling, we
could not resist the temptation of
trying to capture some of the finny
tribe which inhabit the waters of the
Youghiogheny. Selecting a nice.
cozy spot under the wide spreading
branches of majestic oak, which
stands on the bank of the river just
above the Selbysport dam, we baited
our hooks, lighted our havana and
settled down to have good time
when our attention was attracted by
the Joyous laughter of bevy of
school children, vending their way
to the river side, evidently for the
purpose of enjoying boat ride. All
the boats being in use except one
frail and theacherous bark, familiary
know in this town as the Rockaway,
owned by j. M. X, two lads being
of a more daring nature that their
companions, leaped fearlessly into
this boat, and were soon rowing out
on the CLASSY bosom of the mighty
YOughiogheny, against the protest of
their companions. All went well
until they were far from the shore,
when the gentle zephyrs of summer
began to fan their flushed cheeks.
But, alas, one breeze proved strong
enough to watt the hat from the head
of one of the lads far out of reach of
the boat, In their frantic efforts to
regain the hat, they lost control of
the boat, and being very near the
rapids formed by the wafer falling
over the dam, they were caught in
the rapid current and in a moment
shot like an arrow over the cataract
into the seething and foaming waters
